Project CARS General Discussion Thread

[Fryto]

Looks like a cardboard cover with the steel goodness inside.

When will we start seeing reviews?

I assume not until release day or the day before.

 

[Bealdor]

The PC one looks kinda dull in this picture. Is it even a steel-case ? Looks like a regular DVD case on the picture.

The PS4 one is beautiful, though !

Of course it's a steel case. Blame the fugly instagram filter.

Follow-up question for those with the game:

When playing on a pad, can you map the clutch to a button (like in Forza Motorsport 4) or is it automatic (like in Gran Turismo 6)?

They've said you can put it to a button like forza does

Gutted i have just the standard version coming now

 

[Wolfe]

I'll be snagging the Wii U Limited Edition right away if it's available to me on this side of the Atlantic. I want the McLaren F1 and BMW M1 but I'm not going to go digital for them.

I hate that they don't have the limited edition here in Murica.

You can get the LE case at GameStop, but they dont give you the LE car pack.

Did we ever get an explanation to why that is the case? Seems a bit weird leaving money on the table.

Would I get that since I preordered from Gamestop? Or is it just the standard with the modified pack?

If you preorder at GameStop in the US you get a steel case, the Modified Car Pack, and a poster of the cars in the Modified Car Pack

 

[TokoTurismo]

Who disagrees?

*Looks both ways.....shrugs* lol

I honestly wasn't the fan of the cover art at first, but it has grown on me. The LE cases look really good.

I love how they match the colours of each platform's logo. If the Wii U was there, it would have been aqua (sorry for stating the obvious, lol.)

I'm pretty sure. Maybe it's due to the white, haha. Loving the PS4 one as well.

I just preordered the game, do I automatically get that?

As far as I know you get it when you pick it up from GameStop.

Jimmy Broadbent currently streaming some PC...http://www.twitch.tv/jimmy_bee

 

[Yeratel84]

For what I saw on that stream, those on Track list's thread asking if Circuit de Cataluña would be included on release have reasons o be happy, apparently...

 

[FuriousDemon]

Decided what the heck, and pre-ordered the Xbox copy of the game, even though I already get a free one on PC for being a WMD member. Gotta support the devs, plus I need some more games on it anyway, will be good for some casual play on the couch.

Well the case somewhat compensates for the LE cars, I guess.

EDIT: Its a pretty good looking case in my opinion...

I think they get a steel case too but ours has artwork that's exclusive to our version and we get that poster too.
But yeah I don't see the logic in excluding North American players from having certain content. I kind of feel that having one of the LE cars be American further added insult to injury. Hopefully they have this for dlc in the very near future and it certainly needs to be free for North American players or we should receive exclusive content (of equal merit) of our own. Rant over.

OMG I REMEMBER THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was first on Facebook or something.

Is project cars going to have a big day one patch?

 

[GranTurismo guy]

Is project cars going to have a big day one patch?

Yes

 

[Johnnypenso]

Is project cars every big game from this point in time until the end of time going to have a big day one patch?

Fixed that for you

So I've been thinking lately about how theoretically cool it would be if Project CARS or some other racing sim would be if it was 4D (like a 4D movie not 4D in space/time). It would be truly an immersive experience feeling everything that a racer would when he/she is driving the car. And I mean feel everything (again theoretical) including crashes, fatigue, heat, humidity, and precipitation. Of course would never happen but, I have high hopes for this game in terms of immersion with the inclusion of Project Morpheus and FFB Wheel support (not that I'll be able to afford them) and I think it will come as close as possible to full immersion.

 

[zane888]

I'm hoping big patch as in 1-2gb range and not something ridiculous like 10-15gb.

 

[DG_Silva]

It's going to be about 1.5-2Gb. 5gb+ would be reserved for the expansion packs.

[Torg22]

Everybody is different but I couldn't care less what the box looks like, it will no doubt be used to prop up my pedals for when im hacking around Oulton Park anyway
